Getting Started
Important Safeguards - We want you to be safe!
These cabinets are electrical devices. Use care with them and follow
these important safeguards:
• Electrical devices are not toys. Children are often unaware
of the hazards associated with electrical devices, so this unit
must always be used by adults or with adult supervision.
• Do not use this unit outdoors.
• Liquids should not be stored in, set on or placed inside this
unit.
• Never unplug this product from the outlet when your hands
are wet.
• Set the power switch to the down OFF position before you
unplug the unit from the wall, plug the unit into the wall, or
plug in devices.
• Be careful with the power cord. Do not jam the power cord
against sharp edges. Do not use the unit if the cord appears
to be damaged or if the ground prong is missing. When the
unit is not plugged in, wrap the power cord and store in the
IT area.
• Do not use an extension cord with this unit.
• Inadequate repair can create significant hazards to users
and is not covered by the warranty. Repairs should always be
performed by a qualified electrician.
Electrical Testing
• Before using your new charging cabinet, have a qualified
electrician verify the current draw does not exceed the rating
of the unit when all the devices are installed.
• Test the contact integrity of the wall outlet using a receptacle
tension tester such as a Woodhead 1760 or a Safeplug 1700.
• Test the branch circuit for ground integrity and branch circuit
protection.
• Do not plug in the unit if the switch, receptacles, or power
cord have been damaged or if the ground prong is missing
from the plug. If repairs are ever needed, they should be
performed by a qualified electrician.
Doors and Locks
The front doors on each cabinet feature a two-point keyed locking
system to protect your devices. To open a door, lift the bottom of the
handle and rotate it to the inside of the unit. Your unit shipped with
2 keys. Contact Anthro, 800.325.3841, for replacements.
For added security, each front door
features a padlock bracket to hold your
own padlock. When installed, your
padlock restricts access to the handle so
the unit can’t be opened.

Owner's Manual for Anthro Yes Cabinet for Tablets 3
STEP 1
Select the Mounting Location and Method
When choosing the right place to install your cabinet, be sure to check the location of your power source. The power
cord that comes with your cabinet is 10 ft long.
Your cabinet can be wall-mounted to wood wall studs or drywall, or bolt it to a countertop. If you’re installing to wood
wall studs, go to Step 2. If you’re installing into drywall, go to Step 3. If you're bolting to a countertop, go to
Step 4. The cabinet also comes with cushioned feet; use them if you're placing your cabinet on a flat surface. See Step 5
for installation instructions.
STEP 2
Wall-mount to Wood Wall Studs
This is a two-person step.
Determine the installation point for your cabinet.
Using a stud finder, locate the studs. While one person
holds the cabinet frame up to the wall at the desired
height, the other marks the height of the top of the
cabinet. Measure down 1-1/2" along the studs to
determine the position of the screws and mark where
the screws will go. Use a level to make sure the marks
are level.
Using a 1/8" drill bit, drill one hole in a stud about
1-1/2" deep. How do you make sure that hole is
1-1/2" deep? Measure that length on your drill bit
and mark it with a piece of masking tape. Stop drilling
when you reach the masking tape. Repeat for the
second screw.
Using a Phillips driver (or a power driver with a
Phillips bit), attach the first 1-5/8" long screw at that
mounting point, but don’t tighten all the way to the
wall. Stop tightening when the screw head is about
1/4" away from wall.
Lift the cabinet onto the wall. Mark the screw position
of the lower screws. Remove the cabinet, drill the
lower holes, and install the lower screws. Lift the
cabinet into place and tighten all four screws.
Go to Step 6.

STEP 3
Wall-mount to Drywall
Determine the installation point for your cabinet.
While one person holds the cabinet frame up to the
wall at the desired height, the other marks the height
of the top of the cabinet. Measure down 1-1/2" to
determine the position of the screws and mark where
the screws will go. Use a level to make sure the
marks are level.
Drill 1/2" diameter hole at the mounting point.
Insert a TOGGLER into one hole, metal end first.
Pull the plastic ring end so the metal channel rests
flush behind the wall. With your other hand, slide the
plastic cap along the straps until the flange of the cap
is flush with the wall.
Place your thumb between the plastic straps. Push
side to side, snapping off the straps at the wall.
Insert a 1-5/8" long screw into the TOGGLER, but don't
tighten all the way. Leave the bolt head about 1/4"
from the plastic cap.
Repeat for the second TOGGLER.
Lift the cabinet onto the wall. Mark the screw position
of the lower screws. Remove the cabinet and install
the lower TOGGLERs. Lift the cabinet into place and
tighten all four screws.
Go to Step 6.

STEP 4
Bolt-through Installation to Countertop
Pre-drill a 1/4" dia hole in your countertop or shelf.
Using a box knife, slice through the membrane covering the pre-drilled
holes on the bottom of the cabinet.
Slide the 3.5" bolt through the washer, through the bottom of the cabinet,
through the countertop, and capture with the 325-5259-00 nut.

STEP 6
Install the Bay Labels and Route Cables
• Your cabinet comes with labels for numbering the bays in your cabinet. Line up each label with the front face of the bay shelf, peel of the
backer, and affix the label.
• Starting at the far left-hand side of each shelf, route one cord through the channel at the top of the divider. The
right-hand divider on each shelf will not have a cord. Make sure the cord end that goes into the device
is at the front of the cart and the power end goes through the back panel and into the IT area. Leave
enough slack in front so users have enough cord to easily plug into the device without straining the cord.
To quickly measure an adequate length, use the height of the divider as a measuring stick.
• In the IT area, poke cable clips into the holes in the pegboard divider and route cords. Plug in each power
adapter, then connect each cord to an adapter. Turn the power switch to the OFF position before plugging
the cart or cabinet into the wall.
STEP 5
Install Feet
• Stick a 3/4" wood screw through each rubber bumper (581-5063-00).
• Locate the four pre-drilled holes on the bottom of the cabinet, one in each corner. Using the Anthro driver, attach each foot to the
cabinet.

CONGRATULATIONS! YOUR CABINET ASSEMBLY IS COMPLETE!
• To route the cords, route one charging cord along the top
of each divider. Make sure that the cord end that goes into
the device is at the front of the bay and the power end goes
through the center panel and into the IT area.
• Leave enough slack in front
(approximately 4.5”; use the
height of the divider as a
measuring stick) so users can
plug in the device without
straining the cord. [Image C]
• Weave the cord around the
short hook at the front of
the divider, then back and
forth through the three long
channels along the top of the
divider, including the center
channel that’s lower than the
others, and finally through the
short hook at the back of the
divider. [Image D and E]
In the side IT area of the
cabinet
• Plug in each power adapter,
then use Cable Ties provided
to organize excess cord length.
[Image F]
• A great technique for coiling
cables is to wind them around two fingers before securing
them in the cable ties. Be sure
to leave enough slack in your
cord so it can plug into the
adapter.
• Turn the power switch to the
OFF position before plugging
the cabinet into the wall.

Loading Devices, Cable Management
In the front User area of the cabinet
• Check that the vertical
spacing of the shelves fits
your devices. To adjust
shelf height, the Anthro
driver to loosen (not
remove) the 2 screws that
attach the left side of the
shelf. Lift the left side off
the screws and pull the
shelf to the left to free
the tabs on the right. Set
aside the shelf. Remove
and reinstall the screws
and shelf at the desired
height. [Image A]
• Check the position of the
Cable Comb located at
the back of the shelf. Is
it at the right height? If
not, reposition it! Remove the two fasteners on the left
side using the Anthro driver and set them aside. Lift the
left side of the comb and pull the piece to the left to free
the tabs on the right. Reinstall the screws at the desired
height, then reinstall the comb.
• Check that the horizontal spacing of the bay dividers
fits your devices and cases. To move the dividers and
adjust the bay width, press back on the divider tab under
the shelf that connects the divider to the shelf until the
divider pops free. If your fingers don't fit, try a flat-head
screwdriver. To install the divider, angle the divider into
a slot at the back of the shelf, then tilt the divider into
place at the front of the shelf. [Image B] Number each
bay with the provided labels.

How do I know if my devices will draw more than the
allowed current?
Have a qualified electrician verify the unit’s current draw. Perform
this test with devices installed and batteries discharged.
The devices are all plugged in, but they won’t charge.
What do I do?
First, check the cabinet: With the switch in the down OFF position,
inspect the main power cord and plug to make sure that they’re
undamaged. Plug the cord into a working power outlet. Next, check
the devices: Verify that each device is connected to its power adapter
and that each brick is plugged into the power column. Move the
switch to the up ON position to direct power to the devices. Still need
some help? Call Anthro at 800-325-3841 for assistance.
Someone tried to break into the unit and damaged a door.
Can it be replaced?

My power cord/plug is damaged. Is it covered under
warranty?
No, it is not covered under warranty. If the plug is damaged, have a
qualified electrician replace it. If you need a replacement cord, contact
Anthro at 800-325-3841.
When I plug in the unit it trips the circuit breaker. What is
wrong?
The cabinets are designed to run on a 15 amp circuit. If you have
other equipment or appliances plugged into the same circuit you may
be overloading it. Have a qualified electrician check that adequate
power is available in the circuit.
My unit was damaged during shipment. What should I do?

piece of masking tape on the shelf in front of the tab to protect the
shelf's finish, then carefully and gently pry up the tab using a narrow
flat-head screwdriver.
